The Thief On The Cross

Matthias never would have dreamed that all of his life would culminate on a hill with two other unfortunate men. He had too many dreams for which to live, too many things left undone, and yet here he was hanging upon a cross. All of those wasted years, all of those missed opportunities, and yet here and now all of those seemed to slowly fade away as the bruised and battered figure looked at him from the center cross. Those eyes! The depth of love they conveyed! His heart was arrested by the compassion that seemed to radiate from this broken figure. Even the pain wracking his body seemed to fade into the background.

All of time seemed to stop as the cracked and raspy answer to his query penetrated to the very depths of Matthias’s being. “Today, you shall be with Me in Paradise!”

Come and see the beginning of this thief’s life and the adventure that brought him to this place and time. What seemed to be a life that had no hope, Love broke through and changed forever.
